The Public Diplomacy Council is a nonprofit organization that supports the academic study, professional practice, and responsible advocacy of public diplomacy. Based in the United States, we focus on the U.S. Government, especially the State Department and U.S. international broadcasting, but we also observe and learn from the experience of other nations.
The Council relies on the dues, contributions, and volunteer work of its members, and on gifts and grants. Donations to the Council, a 501(c)(3) organization, are tax deductible.
